    Loads of threads popping up for this recently.

    Thought it might be helpful to have one thread which we can all refer to.

    MODs if there is space can we sticky this?

    Can anyone recommend a window cleaner, gutter cleaner and house cleaner in the Corbally area who will actually answer the phone or turn up.......

    Hi, I am an experienced cleaner who actually shows up and needs a job (or if I can't I will have the manners to let you know that it doesn't suit me).
    You can PM me here if you are interested.

    Revenue and an insurance company I’d imagine

    Are you seriously suggesting that I, or the OP, should ask a potential house cleaner if they are registered with the Revenue for a couple of hours work per week ?

    It's none of my business if they are or aren't. It's between them and the Revenue. I pay them and it's up to them to declare the income. Whether they do (or don't) is nothing to do with me......my only concern is that they do a decent job for the money I pay them. Nothing more, nothing less.


    I didn't question your reference to Insurance so no need to reply there.

    The only register they’ll be in is the Live Register.

    Great idea for a sticky!
    Can anybody recommend an electrician to do a few small jobs in the Limerick area?  I've asked several who have said they will come back to me with prices or else never answer the phone.  Preferably somebody who charges reasonable rates. 
    TIA

    MOD NOTE:
    All
    As requested I stickied this. Please remember the rules on this etc.
    Try keep the discussions to a min please.
    Keep the phone numbers out of it. Anyone seeing self promoting will be demoted.

    Put the recommendations on this thread, sending them via PM won't help others.

    Good idea having it as a sticky.

    They did our bathroom last summer. Delighted with the results. They do it all and tbh I found them really competitive on price. They were also a pleasure to deal with throughout. There is only one downside. We arranged everything in (I think) March. Bathroom was fit in July because they are really busy.

    They are busy because they're great.

    Any recommendations for somebody that will service a boiler, preferably somebody that works for themselves. Have always used TP Gas but the guy they sent the last time tried to get my mother to replace parts that didn't need replacing so would rather deal with someone that works for themselves rather than a company that will send some lad that works for them.

    Bluegas.ie. Nice guy, also had TP gas out to replace a meter, GNI chose them, they offered to service the boiler and nearly started taking parts out of the van before even seeing the boiler. Told them no thanks.

    Replaced all my windows and doors with triple glazing recently by Walsh Windows off the Tipperary Road and am very happy with their work. They make them too rather than just measuring up and ordering in.

    Have a gravel driveway that either needs fixing(weeds taking it back) or replaced with cobblelock, printed concrete or something.

    Anybody recommend a crowd that can provide a quote at least? Thanks
